Electrical question

Not really sure where to put this, so I'm posting this here.

I'm trying to find any and all information I can about 96-2000 (preferably the 2000 model) Chevrolet 3500 OBS diesel instrument cluster.

In particular I need to know what the pin layout is, and the resistance range (ohms?) for each of the gauges is. I'm looking to install one into my F350. (I know, go ahead and tell me I'm crazy) I'm just tired of trying to read it. For whatever reason the ford cluster messes with my eyes,

I will most likely use GM oil pressure sending unit, and water temperature sensor, but will have to "translate" the voltage/resistance from the ford sensors for the tach, speedometer/odometer (same feed I assume), fuel level. I'm not sure about the voltometer. (Does is it just fed by the 12v system to take its reading, or does it have some sort of sensor?)

Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
